About

The Fabrics

The fabrics in my quilts come from my travels to Ghana where I personally select each piece from local vendors at the Makola Market in Accra, as well as luxury stores like Vlisco and Woodin, known for their high-end African wax print fabrics and new collections. There's also a Ghanaian fabric I purchased in Kampala, Uganda at Edro Designs.

Most of the fabrics I use are GTP (Guaranteed Turkish Print) wax prints—vibrant, durable textiles with a rich and complex history. Originally created by Dutch colonizers attempting to mimic Indonesian batik for the African market, these fabrics were rejected in Indonesia but embraced and transformed by West Africans into something entirely their own.

Today, GTP wax prints are a cornerstone of African cultural expression, with each pattern carrying meaning and stories passed down through generations.

It's a labor of love

Questions you might have:

Who sews the blankets?

I sew each blanket personally. Actually, I do every step of the process myself. From laying the drawing paper out, to drawing out the design, selecting the fabrics by mix-matching pieces to see what works, to cutting them pieces out. It's truly a labor of love.

Can I track my order?

Absolutely! Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive an email with a tracking number and a link to monitor your shipment in real time. You can also log in to your account on our website to check the status of your order at any time, ensuring you know exactly when to expect your delivery.

What is your return policy?

All sales are final.

Each quilt is a limited, handcrafted piece.

Should your order arrive with verified damage from transit, please notify us within 72 hours of delivery and include photographs of the packaging and quilt. We will review and respond promptly.

We are always available prior to purchase to assist with selection.

Are these quilts meant to be used or displayed?

Absolutely. These quilts are meant to be used—in the crib, on the sofa for naps, or spread out on the floor for playtime. Many families use them over a receiving or swaddling blanket during the baby stage.

Or, you can simply purchase one to hang as wall art from the start.

When you’re ready, the quilt can also be retired to the wall as a keepsake.

Is each quilt truly one of a kind?

Yes. Each quilt is individually composed. While signature design elements may reappear, fabric placement and layout vary with every piece. Once a particular fabric is gone, it may not be available again. No two quilts are ever exactly the same.

What size are the quilts?

Each quilt is sized for baby use while also working beautifully as wall art. Because every piece is handmade and one of a kind, exact dimensions may vary slightly. Specific measurements are listed on each product page.

Are the quilts washable?

These quilts are made to be used and loved. To keep yours looking and feeling its best:

For care:

Spot clean with a gentle cleanser as needed

Or machine wash on delicate, in cold water

Hang and air dry, out of direct sunlight, or tumble dry on low heat

All fabrics are pre-washed, and the batting is an 80/20 cotton-poly blend to help reduce shrinkage. Some minimal shrinkage may still occur, but it only adds to the quilt’s softness and lived-in comfort.

Are these quilts handmade?

Yes. Each quilt is individually designed and sewn using a domestic sewing machine. Because these pieces are handcrafted rather than factory-produced, slight variations in stitching, seam alignment, or thread transitions may be visible. These are natural characteristics of handmade work and part of the quilt’s authenticity.

Every quilt is created to be both beautiful and functional — suitable for use, display, or gifting.

About

The Seamstress - Dr. Lisa

“If I were to lose everything, at least I know how to sew.”

— Sheila Johnson

That resonates with me.

My grandmother, Margaret Magruder, taught me to sew when I was nine years old. She also taught me to crochet and knit, but sewing is what stayed with me. For decades, I’ve made clothing for myself. For years, I made my mother’s holiday outfits so she would shine at her hospital Christmas parties.

Through the years, dozens of babies have received crocheted blankets from me, finished with quilted backs and each baby’s name hand-sewn into the border.

Quilting is my newest expression of that work.

Each quilt begins with a hand-drawn sunrise pattern inspired by one of my favorite childhood drawings—the sun rising or setting behind hills. I sketch every design myself, so no two quilts are identical.

Today, my quilts combine vibrant African fabrics I’ve personally sourced during my travels to Ghana and Uganda with craftsmanship honed over decades at the sewing machine. I look forward to incorporating fabrics from other parts of the world in the future.

These are Legacy Baby Quilts—made to be used, kept, and remembered.

Every quilt carries a story—mine, the fabric’s, and the one you add to it.

Heirlooms are handed down.
Your stories create the legacy.

Images are of outfits I've made over the past several years.
